TOM WAITS

Strange Weather Lyrics

(tom waits for marianne faithful)Will you take me across the channel,London bridge is falling down.Strange a woman tries to saveWhat a man will try to drown.And he's the rain that they predicted,Its the forecast every time.The rose has died because you picked itAnd I believe that brandy's mine.

And all over the worldStrangersTalk only about the weather.All over the worldIt's the sameIt's the sameIt's the same.

The world is getting flatter,The sky is falling all around.And nothing is the matterFor I never cry in town.And a love like ours, my dear,

Is best measured when it's down.And I never buy umbrellas,For there's always one around.

And all over the world strangers talk only about the weather. all over the world it's the sameIt's the sameIt's the same.

And you know that it's beginning,And you know that it's the endWhen once again we are strangersAnd the fog comes rolling in.

And all over the worldStrangersTalk only about the weather.All over the worldIt's the sameIt's the sameIt's the same.
